With english you can communicate easlily with all the students and outside student life. Finnish language is difficult to learn so after completing the course you still don't know that much.

Finnish people do speak very good English. Several courses are in English. There is a good possibility to learn English. Finnish is quite much hard, and difficult to learn in just few months.
